If you can reproduce the issue with a clean profile or in Safe Mode, please file a bug report.

I've narrowed it down to specific webpages - but how can I know if the leak is the pages' fault or the browser's fault?

(Biggest culprits are Discourse forums.. which is a shame b/c I really like the platform)

about:memory will help you there. Save those reports (you can even anonymize them) and include them in a bug report.

You could try leaving the same website open in Chrome

A couple weeks ago I'd've advised reporting those pages with the Pulse extension [1], but it looks like it's recently been retired.

Download Developer Edition https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/ (or Nightly), load up the page, and in the browser menu click "Report Site Issue".
